Courses: Awareness Training, Hacking  101

Course 1: Awareness Training

30% of phishing emails are opened. And about 12% of targets go on to click the link or attachment. Most of us rely on technology, such as anti-virus software, to keep us cyber-secure. Generally, that is a good thing. But part of being cyber-safe is about being educated, learning how to adjust your online routines and habits to improve your cybersecurity.

As many organizations and individuals have discovered, cyber-criminals are only too willing to exploit our lack of knowledge around how breaches occur. But learning how to be cyber-secure is often easy and quick to do.
